Six Pack - St. Fair 8/10

August 10, 2008
Whew - we made it! SIX PACK played played 8 shows in the last 9 days! One day was a double-header, 3 shows were 5 hour gigs, and 6 of the shows were at Wisconsin State Fair. We experienced many adventures this past week including Charlie Daniels taking a break from his show to come and check us out! We said goodbye to our drummer, A.J. Knight, and welcomed Marty "The Party" Pierce back to the band. We had a bass guitar acccidentally go home with another band, but within minutes Joe had 3 bass guitars to choose from. We had lots of surprise visitors - friends and relatives we haven't seen in quite a while stopped in to party with us. We made lots of new friends too! It means so much to us when people take the time to introduce themselves and offer a kind word about our show.

State Fair was awesome! We were always lucky to find great parking spots and friendly park staff. Working at Miller Lite Park was great! The entire staff would dance and sing along with us, while serving up ice cold Miller beer and Gator Tators! Our sound man, Kevin, was patient, accomodating and helpful. We looked forward to returning to the park each day and working with these outstanding people.

Thank you all for a great week! Now it's time for SIX PACK members to take an Ibuprofin, get some sleep, and go back to our REAL jobs tomorrow!
